It offers beautiful scenery and lots of wildlife to seek out. Although this trip is conducted in Deception Pass State Park we avoid the turbulent water near the bridge which is more suitable for expert kayakers.

A really nice 90 minute tour around several little islands in Deception Pass. Kayaks were well maintained, safety was strongly observed and our guide, Sasha was friendly and informative. Bring an extra $10 to get into the state park where the launch is located in Bowman Bay. Donā€™t bring too much stuff because the splash skirt you wear will cut you off at the waist so you canā€™t get to things in your lap, and thereā€™s not really a place to put other things, like a cell phone. Just enjoy an hour and a half being in the moment. Cameron and Claire Chalfont, PA

It was a great experience to kayak with Anacortes Kayak Tours. Jake our guide was professional and made the trip enjoyable. We will definitely, consider the 3 hr tour next summer.

Sam was our guide, and he simply made the tour - great safety brief, great situational awareness during the tour, great oratory skills and explanation of the local environment. Bioluminescent tour is just surreal.
